SpareParts is included in this ROM look at the Settings ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Spare parts is in settings/system ;)

Good news: I've fixed camera timestamp without 3MPx limitation :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pharrisee:
ah, that'll be why I couldn't see it then :P Thanks mate.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Hey! Why not Vanilla? Just like the color of the android in RaduG's logo?

It's just a probably bad idea that poped up in my crazy head when I was thinking about something else...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Booting VE5 RC...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pharrisee:
You sir are such a tease. :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Updated.

Read the changelog and the notes before flashing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DeanHobden:
Sometimes when I press the power button to wake up the phone from sleep, the screen is blank but the keys at the bottom (phone, home, menu and power), they all light up.

And, sometimes when I wake the phone up from sleep by pressing power, the phone is messed and I can't touch the screen and it shows all these different colours as if the graphics are all weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
WOW! I went away from my PC for couple of hours and this is what happens!?

RaduG, you're the man! Will flash as soon as I download it. ^_^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
If you're talking about acid dreams colors then Villain 12 also has this feature from time to time ;) Or it might be just setCPU 176MHz downclock on screen off profile, I dunno. Did you downclocked it ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
No worries. It's an useful addition but nothing one cannot live without. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
It is because your phone does not wake properly from sleep when set to 176MHz. Either live with it for now or wait until RaduG releases more kernels with other speeds.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DeanHobden:
It's probably the kernel or w/e then. Does this damage my phone and is it safe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
BTW i think i have the old Settings.apk (No System menu).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Yes it is the kernel since it clocks down to 176Mhz with screen off. I am having the same problem from time to time since my Hero really can't handle the low speed either.

I have not really noticed any negative effects of it and I don't think that a low clock can damage it. An overclock that is too high on the other hand can cause issues.

@RaduG would it be possible to see a kernel that is virtuall the same as the 176-691MHz one but with the lowest clock set to 246Mhz (or whatever it is)? I find OverclockWidget and SetCPU slow and ineffective when switching speed on wake-up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sandmen:
tun.ko modules

Hi,

does openvpn (tun.ko) working ?

Or is it included in the RC?

Thank's
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
That's true. The worst scenario is taking out the battery if phone freezes due to too low clocking and power off doesn't respond.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 160bpm:
63.18.55.06PH IS that the latest version of the RADIO...

63.18.55.06PU is latest what i know..

Never see the 63.18.55.06PH
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Yeh and as long as it is nothing more than strange colors and/or a black screen now and then that are solved by pressing the power-button once or twice it is nothing to worry about.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
Im keeping my eye on this ROM, your working at such a fast pace that I think im just going to wait till final release.

Will there be many extra additions for the final release?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Hmm... I have to say that I've been having more issues with RC than with build 8, a lot more in fact. I've installed it the way you advised to - so wiped dalvik and data and removed Facebook prior to installation.

First of all, I've been greeted with FC's of Smart Keyboard Pro - approx every 30 seconds or so, so as soon as it restarted it did FC itself. Fortunately reinstallation solved the issue. Next of there's Google Maps. It FC'ed few times even though I didn't run it at all, so it probably did it from within background. I tried reinstalling it through Market but it was unsuccesful due to (as Market said) it is already installed in the system but when I try to run it it tells me that it is not installed at all. And that's odd to say the least. I think that I may try reinstalling the whole system fresh, not on the earlier version as I did before, but that if I'll have time later on and sadly I won't have as much of it Today as I did yesterday so my Today's tests won't be as thorough, I'm afraid.

I will let you know on all the bugs I encounter, however (if I encounter anymore of those).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
The download link still says Build 8 :)

I kept getting the GPS dropping out on me whilst using build8, will try 10 and let you know if there's any difference...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vitch:
Update

Downloading and flash right now !;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vitch:
stuck on the "hero" logo after flashing with only dalvik wype.

i wait a bit and i wype data/factory reset.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Adb logcat please :)

@kad3t

Those issues are certainly caused by not-wiping.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
Could you please include Astro file manager and titanium backup in the final release?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
No, I won't include any extra apps in the ROM. Sorry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
Ok no worries, just setting up the RC now so will know if the GPS is any better soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andreofgyn:
Hi,

First of all, great rom, very fast!

But I have a little problem:

My top notification led is not blinking for notifications (missed calls, e-mails etc) while for charging is ok, any thougths?

My trackball led is ok;

I full wiped.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
It is not supposed to blink on notifications. Only the trackball led should.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andreofgyn:
RaduG, I tested and trackball is flashing for gmail only while the phone is not connected to power, this is correct?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
The trackball blinks on missed call, SMS, gmail and such.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vitch:
update

i pull off the battery and reboot and finally OS boot normaly without wyping something else than dalvik.

facebook was ok, still no pinch zoom in MAPS and in the browser and, that was very importante for me, no Exchange calendar sync ...

hope you include that in RTM build ...

thank for all again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
I have had the same problem, I had once before, the Digitiser was not functioning correctly and as a result the bottom 20% of the screen would not always respond to touch input, so making a selection form the menu was proving to be a pain or setting the alarm etc. etc. I have had this problem on or off for 5 or so months of owning the phone 2nd repair for the same thing :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:,

100% CPU bug

Hello RaduG and thanks for your great work. I'm a fan of both VanillaEclair and ChocolateEclair :)

I've noticed a small bug in build 8 (I have not tested build 10 yet): when you simply touch the screen, it uses 100% CPU all the time to the highest frequency, until you release your fingers. This can cause slowdowns and unnecessary battery drain.

The same issue does not occur in ChocolateEclair 2. (Tested using setCPU)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Happy to test the RC! It looks like the premice of a great final ROM!!! I'm always the big fan of RaduG's ROMs

I have not much to say. Just about feeling of speed:

This VE5rc does not feel as smooth and snappy than the VE4.0.

I thought that it was because of the Launcher Pro (I use ADW in VE4.0). But I installed ADW and the feeling is the same.

Is it related to the "touchscreen vampirizing all the cpu" bug posted above?

BTW it IS snappy and smooth. but VE4.0 was more.

What do you think people?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
Using build 10 and im getting superuser permission probllems, root explorer can not get permissions needed to start. Apart from that it seems a brilliant ROM :D

Can someone help to test the VPN?

I have flashed build 7, and I cannot connect to my VPN, neither PPTP nor L2TP.

Pls mirror build10....:rolleyes: THX!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Blue-K:
Guess I found my new ROM :). But I'll wait for the final Build before I'll install, I guess...I don't like flashing over an existing ROM (yes, call me crazy :P).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@hikui

OK. The problem is that the modules are not enabled. I've just tested it now, and it should work.

adb shell
modprobe tun

After that, you can setup your VPN.

I will fix this for the final release, so you won't have to do that then. But if you now flash the ROM, please tell me if it works this way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DeanHobden:
I still don't think Facebook Sync is completely working, it links the profile with my contacts but their photos don't show up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
how long have you waited.... in some roms in teh past it's taken me hours and hours before I saw the results, sometimes a reboot as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Sorry for quoting myself. But @RaduG, what dou you think? Is VE5.0 as snapy as the 4.0?

Is it something you want to look at, or are you happy like it is? I'm thinking at going back to 4.0...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RRGJL:
Does anyone know how to set the wallpaper for the lock screen? I tried close to everything, but I just can't change it for some reason. There are no menu options anywhere to change it. Then I tried changing it manually: I found something about /system/etc/lockscreen, but the folder called lockscreen isn't there. Am I supposed to simply create it and put an image in there, and it just works? I don't suppose so...

Also I tried some tool that I found. Think I found it around here on the forums. It should change my lock screen wallpaper from my pc through USB connection with my phone. That's not working either. I'm LOST...:mad:

Please point me in the direction of proof of my stupidity.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@RRGJL

You can't set a different wallpaper for the lockscreen. You can only do that in Sense ROMs.

@Judim

Before starting the work on VE5, I had CE on my phone for about a month. I have to say that VE5 feels as good as CE in terms of snappiness, menu navigation and such, and that can only make me happy. I don't know how VE4 feels compared to VE5, but VE5 should be better in theory. This lag that you are experiencing might come from the kernel too. It's not the final one, though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duke1313:
Great ROM but after a clean install, still having the gps bug. It conects and disconects on Sygic and Navigon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Thank's for the answer. I flashed the latest Radio and installed autokiller, set on strict and now it feels better, almost as good as VE4. Cool. And it's good to read that you are still working on the kernel. It will be a bomb! Woo!

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
Yeah this is a problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dazbutler1:
Firstly thanx for all your great work developer. Have tried just about all the custom roms out there and for me easily chocolate eclair is the fastest most stable sense rom out there and vanilla eclair is clearly the greatest of all roms by a wide margin. Flashed v5 this morning still impressed very stable rom but at this moment just not quite as snappy as v4. looking forward to the final build where im sure v5 will be the dogs. thanx again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
I did recommended wipes. Nevermind that. I'll reinstall on clean when I have more time. Thanks!

Thanks! So, you did had the issue with voice connections as well?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I've located the GPS issue and it is now fixed once and for all. That's all I do for today. Maybe if everything goes as planed, CE V5 will arrive tomorrow, as planed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
Opps mis-quote @kad3t only have the touchscreen problem (must be more careful with placements of my commas in future :D)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
I can't seem to turn off the 3G, does anyone have a solution?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
You can try apndroid. It's in the market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Is it a widget of some sort? It's strange, I don't have the option to turn off 3G, nor do I have the option to put a widget onto my home screen to toggle it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
You can add it as a widget or use it as a normal app to switch 3G off. It changes your apn settings (by appending apndroid to the apn name) so that your phone cannot connect to the 3G network.

You mean you installed it, but cannot add it as a widget?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Summered:
There's no such thing in vanilla, meaning you'll have to resort to a third-party app, APNdroid for example.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] okkim:
I first flashed to build 8 today morning when saw it had arrived and it worked as a treat. Then in the early afternoon build 10 came and flashed to it, but got first FC during setup phase (can't remember the error text, sorry). Also with build 10 I was unable to connect to any data connections (WiFi or 3G) so I gave up pretty quick and came back to build 8. I always wipe everything before flashing so maybe it was just bad luck or something.. Didn't have time to flash more than once.

Build 8 works perfectly for me, although haven't had chance to test A2DP yet. Also tried GPS just for few minutes and it got signal, don't know how it's gonna behave during longer period.

Now waiting for the final release since these ROMs have been the best ROMs I've ever encountered. Thanks once again RaduG for your fabulous work, it is much appreciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
No problem for me at all.

Awesome job once more RaduG
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hikui:
I'm afraid the VPN still doesn't work in this way.(I use L2TP)

I run these commands in terminal emulator with su instead of using adb. Does it matter?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cauli:
A workaround is trivial: create the empty folder /system/sd. I've been doing nandroid/ext backups of VE 4, via AmonRa, ever since. There were problems only because AmonRa Recovery expects this folder to exist so it can use it as a mount point. Thus this solves the issue.

@RaduG: Hope this makes it into VE 5, as it is so simple & safe :)

Oh, while I'm here, notification bar colour: I'd like to see the colour/s be specified via a config file to make it easy to customise without having to hack framework apks & what have you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lipengrik:
thanks ！

VanillaEclair very nice！

Looking forward to the final version！

Alarm didn't wake-up

hi all,

using this rom since yesterday and loving it !!

One thing : alarm didn't wake me up this morning. i checked the volume settings and the everything that should be related but didn't find anything. Puzzling. Somebody else faced it ?

Maybe it has to see with the A2Dp that doesn't start while in sleep mode...i have to wake the phone up in order to launch Cubed Player to play. Somebody else faced this too ?

A thousand thx to RaduG, anyway !!

okdac:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yuuto:
Looking forward to the final version！
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
For those of you who get FCs please pastebin your logcat, I can't see what's causing it otherwise.

@hikui

Try via adb. And please paste your logcat... what is not working? It doesn't connect to the server, it connects but does nothing...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
If I were to create the folder /system/sd to simply create a mounting point for BART/NAndroid would that break the built-in Apps2SD in any way?

Otherwise it might be a good idea to simply include the folder as empty so that backups can be made simply by everyone without going nuts over adb or whatever :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H0schi:
sorry for asking, but what are FCs?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hund:
Force close.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hikui:
I thought this VPN was blocked by our Government. But it works well in ChocolateEclair. So I think it's nothing to do with the GFW.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Thanks. I suppose it's a temporary issue then. Hope your phone get's fixed fast enough.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Stands for force close(s).

Waiting impatiently for the final build! VE 4 keeps restarting randomly on me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Update: Only the extra kernels to go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I have been running a little over 17 hours since unplugging, and Spare Parts shows 100% running, and About Device shows Dialer consuming 97% of battery.

I know I haven't been on the phone for that much, is this a bug? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
It is, but I don't have it... It's an app of some sort causing it, I don't know... It seems to be a vulnerability of CM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
I have this too but only sometimes, after reboot it is all ok.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I'll see if a reboot fixes it.

I also noticed a bug with Wi-Fi.

Starting it from Power management widget doesn't make it connect to my router, it only happens when I open the Wi-Fi preferences.

Here's what logcat says on opening the Wi-Fi preferences with Wi-Fi already enabled:

D/SettingsWifiEnabler( 1791): Received wifi state changed from Enabling to Enabled
D/SettingsWifiEnabler( 1791): Received network state changed to NetworkInfo: type: WIFI[], state: CONNECTED/CONNECTED, reason: (unspecified), extra: (none), roaming: false, failover: false, isAvailable: true
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DeanHobden:
I definitely think my Facebook Sync isn't working correctly, every time it syncs it adds another tab saying "Facebook Profile" under the contact, and keeps adding one every time it syncs :S

And the photos are still not coming up. I even did a full wipe and a few reboots.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
I'm leaving the Android Hero fold and going to the other side!

Unfortunately due to HTC delays and my Hero hardware problems, this has resulted in me leaving the fold and going over to the other side I'm sorry to say.

Sorry I had to do it, I had to leave, but despite all the hardware issues, I have never enjoyed my phone as much as I have since Radu came on the scene.

His VanillaEclair brought new meaning to my phone and to the Hero in general and is still the one to beat along with Chocolate Eclair.

I have always admired Radu's dedication to his ROM and users and the speed in which he aims to resolve problems. Thanks Radu Big time.

I shall still pass by from time to time to see how things are developing and follow the progress of Chocolate, Vanilla or Froyo

Good luck all!

NO I won't be getting the iPhone :eek:

I am now the proud owner of a Nexus 1 so for me no more waiting for HTC (not that I did anyway :p) for the latest OS, plus a chance to try JIT and Flash on Froyo 2.2 etc.

Take care peeps :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Have fun with the N1!! Great phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Build ready, kernels ready... doing final checks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krispijn_s:
Ooohhh.. Can't wait :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
Awesome ROM... nothing further to say!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
Thanks for giving the Hero a boost and a superhero's outfit :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
As I already told earlier there are missing apps on Market. And no, its not market bug, coz I can find them with CE 2.0 ROM.

Can somebody try to search for Goggles or Switch Pro widget and tell me if they come up with something ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Hmm, true. Didn't find Goggles with this ROM. I have had it installed before (actually I do now as well but that is because I restored it through titanium backup...).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Je viens juste d'essayer avec VE5RC. Je ne trouve ni l'un ni l'autre sur le Market.

Failed to find Goggles nor Switch Pro with VE5RC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Ok. Good to know that I'm not the only one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Please don't post in this thread anymore. The new one is coming in 1 minute.

See you on the other side!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Oh, sure. Thanks for the update. I'll make sure that I do that. Just finished flashing, so I'll be probably going on about setting the JIT up later on tonight.

I don't know really... Maybe I'm tu used to this one? Maybe never crossed my mind. Anyway, I know how to go about it now, so no biggie and thanks for the tip anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
VE5 hahahahah. man. and wipe, fa*KKKKKK
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@kad3t

How is it working so far?

@heyodee

Be aware, no ramzswap module is included, so compcache does not work :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
NO!!!!!! why? are you gonna release that kernel of yours?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
No, I just didn't compile the module... but I will for the final build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bojzi:
First of all, massive thanks for this! :)

I've just moved back to VanillaEclair 4 after trying out various CM 5.0.8 but none came close to the stability of VanillaEclair. So, now, naturally, I'm going to move to VE5 but first I wanted to know which frequencies does this kernel support so that I can lower the maximum and up the minimum a little bit with SetCPU?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
At the moment only 176, 576 and 691 are supported. No lokernel/freekernel until the final build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
and when will that be chief? tonight?

i can stay up all night hitting F5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bojzi:
OK, I'll sit on my hands and hold off on flashing it until the final build. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Not tonight, maybe in 1-2 days... this is the testing release, to see if there are any bugs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
I was begining to think that you were gone! Great to see you that you're still here as well! ^__^

So far, so good. Just finished the initial config and will reboot, so that I can install my apps afterwards, configure them and whatever's left to configure and then I'll do some testing - so I will play with it for a while and see if everything works. Will let you know if I come across anything odd or buggy but it don't look like I will. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
Only bug i can think of is camera zoom in/out

all else should be fine imo
